In association with our main website, Truth About Trucking, my goal from the very beginning was to not be just more talk, but to stand up and take viable action in “raising the standards of the trucking industry” and to provide real and valuable assistance to CDL students and new drivers entering into a trucking career.  One way of doing this, is through our BTR show, Truth About Trucking “LIVE.”

Is NAFTA Working or Not?

NAFTAWith lost U. S. jobs estimated as high as 25 million and companies and corporations moving to Mexico and Canada, is NAFTA working as it was promised to do so?  When President George W. Bush signed the NAFTA agreement on December 17th, 1992 he stated that “NAFTA would be a catalyst for economic growth in the three countries.”

Yet, many of the other two countries Governmental offices and officials claim that NAFTA has, in fact, hurt their economical growth as well.

Mr. Obama vowed to reopen NAFTA and insure “labor, environmental and safety standards that are enforced.“   Now, it appears the decision has been made to not re-negotiate NAFTA policies and to leave it as is.

Trucking talk radio, Truth About Trucking “LIVE” invites you to join in on our upcoming show:  NAFTASunday, May 3rd, 2009 at 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time and let us know what you think?
